Julia Louis-Dreyfus Critiques J.D. Vance at DNC

During the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus humorously moderated a discussion featuring eight current Democratic female governors, where she quipped about J.D. Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee. Louis-Dreyfus highlighted Vance's history of misogynistic comments, jokingly referring to the governors as a 'coven of semi-menstruating witches,' a playful jab at Vance's derogatory remarks about women. The governors included notable figures such as New York's Kathy Hochul and Michigan's Gretchen Whitmer. Her remarks were well-received by the audience, underscoring her commitment to empowering women in politics. Although her character in 'Veep' was known for her unorthodox political views, Louis-Dreyfus's real-life advocacy for women contrasted sharply with her fictional persona. The session aimed to celebrate the achievements of women in executive roles while also addressing contemporary issues they face.
